Why would that be a cause for worry? We don’t pronounce Jesus’ name in the same way that it would have been pronounced in 30AD. We don’t pronounce it the same in different languages either.
That is a little different I think, as Jesus’ name in the 30AD we DO know.
Iesous (Greek), Jesus (Latin), Joshua (English), Yehoshua (Hebrew), Yeshua.
We know HOW to pronounce Jesus’ name, but we DON’T know how to pronounce God’s Name revealed to Moses (יהוה), and it ought not be substituted for some other name suited to another language.
 
The homily is part of the liturgical celebration, so no, it may not be used during the homily.
This is the traditional Catholicism forum so I speak of the traditional liturgy. The homily is not considered part of the liturgical celebration. In fact, the priest removes the maniple and wears the biretta when he preaches, to signify that the liturgy has been interrupted for this purpose. Even the placement of the homily between the Gospel and Creed is a relatively recent invention . . . for many centuries, the homily was preached before or after Mass.
